All of the roads for miles are piled deep with snow drifts, the snow In many cases being from eight to fifteen feet deep. Gangs of the townspeople have worked steadily in their efforts to break through but none of the roads have been used as yet. Many teams attempted to get through but found it impossible. Sev eral wagons have been abandoned for the time being by their owners who removed the horses and permitted the wagons to stick in the snow. Work was resumed to-day and it is ex pected that a path wide enough for wagons will be shoveled through. The Atlantic Refining Company I tank wagon from Harrisburg with six horses attached was one of the first teams to attempt to get into town to day. None of the residents have been able to send any mail and none has come out since the storm on Friday. When the Stsmach Goes Back to Work Then Is the Whole System Glad.

WHAT TO DO FOR N URALGIA The one great symptom of neuralgia is pain; the one great cause is lack of nutrition for the nerves, in plain lan guage—starved nerves. There are two things to do for any form of neuralgia. Apply heat to the affected part to soothe the pain, and feed the nerves by taking a tonic con taining tho elements needed by them. Heat, as afforded by hot flannel, hot water bags, etc,, lulls the Inflamed nerves into temporary quiet. It does not cure. Not until the nutrition of the nerves is restored will the inflam mation subside. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills furnish to the blood the needed elements and the blood conveys them to the nerves. The only way of getting food or medi cine to the nerves Is through the blood. Remember that. Neuralgia is a general term. It means inflammation of a nerve. It is given different names according to the nerve affected. Sciatica is neuralgia of the sciatic nerve. Application of heat will soothe the pain in all forms of neuralgia and Dr. Williams' Pink Pills will correct the condition that caused it. Your own druggist sells Dr. Wil liams' Pink Pills and the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y., will send you a little book on "Home Treat ment of Nervous Disorders" for the asking.—Advertisement. , , ' ?' •,V .
